ps: I have a sinus infection type cold for over a week and would not want anything else. This is bad enough.
I would be suspicious of China or Russia, but not the democracies in India or South Africa. I give major kudos to South Africa for warning the world about omicron. In response Fauci imposed travel restrictions on them which he did not lift even after it came out that omicron was discovered in the Netherlands before it was discovered in South Africa. Even with South Africa over its omicron peak the loathsome Fauci and Biden have kept those restrictions in place while Biden lifted restrictions on foreign nationals traveling to the US from hard hit European countries. It's racism pure and simple.
